Road  Dust  Preventives 

This  list  represents  only  a  part  of  the  more  recent  literature  on 
this  subject  available  in  the  Carnegie  Library  of  Pittsburgh.  No  at- 
tempt has  been  made  to  include  the  general  literature  of  modern  road 
construction  or  of  the  dust  nuisance.  Some  references  on  dust  re- 
moval and  on  tar  products  respectively  will  be  found  in  two  bibliog- 
raphies of  "Air  conditioning"  and  "By-product  coking,"  published 
recently  by  this  Library.
